What's with this "Who am I to judge" attitude that seems so prevalent
these days?

The question you should be asking yourselves is, "Who am I to NOT
judge?"

Discuss amongst yourselves; I have to go grocery shopping.

Why would I judge anybody? I am not perfect so I know everybody else is
not either.

I JUDGE myself. I have no right or control over anyone else, that
allows me to judge them, anywhere other than my mind. I chose with
whom I converse & associate. That is controling me.
Think there is a old saying, "Judge NOT least You be JUDGED"
I learned that the hard way.

Humm why judge others just to have them judge you. I live my life the
way I want too it is no ones business what I do. Therefore if I don't
judge you then don't judge me. Take me as I'm or leave me the hell
alone. At least that is how I see life.


My friends are my friends. I treat them as I do my family. What they do
in there lives is there business. I'm there if they need me not to judge
them. Or to tell them I told you so.

I guess that is why to this day my brother is 4 years older than I'm my
little sister is 16 years younger than me. ^To this day we three have
never had a cross word with each other and live within 30 min of each
other. Some say that is impossible. But not if you take each person for
who they are and not try to make them into who you want them to be!

People should live there own lives and not try to live others.

The way I see it, don't judge others. The same as don't throw stones if
you live in a glass house I guess.
I hate the thoughts of meeting that judge in the big court house in the
sky.laugh

Romee, ya got to learn to let those things slide off your back. They are
narrow minded people that judge otheres before they even know them. Live
life the way you see fit if it is not the way they like it they know how
to turn and walk away. Your here to make yourself happy you cannot make
someone see you the way you are if there minds are closed. bigsmile

Hey have seen ya on here for a while and you seem like a real nice guy.
People tend to take first impressions and run with them sure I have been
guilty of the same. People just have to take the time to get to know
others for who they really are.bigsmile

Ok the whole judging others thing is just a pain....I do it but I try my
darndest to not tell anyone at all my views on things as I feel I have
no right to put that out there in front of them or to their backs. As
for the god is the only one who judges....well lets just say that the
story that ended my belief in god was abraham and his sacrifice to
god....attempting to sacrifice his first born to god at gods behest only
to have god stop him before he did the did....anyone who asked me to do
that only to go "sike just checking" is a turd in my book and needs less
friends.

I think many of you have the wrong idea about what "judgment" means, in
the context in which I mean it, anyway, and with regard to having forum
discussions.

First of all, if you'll look at the stripper thread, somewhere in there
buried amongst the many pages of juvenile banter is information I posted
with regard to the oft-misquoted verse (Matthew 7, 1-7, I believe) which
talks about "Judge not, lest ye be judged."

I am not going to rehash that here, and if you want to know the true
context of the verse then, please, feel free to look it up for
yourselves.

Having said that, that's really beside the point here, because what most
of you are saying is what a person should not have the right to do is
not to JUDGE, but to OPINE.

True FINAL JUDGMENT, in the sense of what will ultimately happen to a
person if they engage in certain behavior, is up to God, of course.

But if a person merely states they don't agree with something that they
find it offensive, etc., that is NOT making JUDGMENT.

As an example, in the stripper thread, I state I don't condone it
because I do not -- and will NEVER -- condone the objectification of
human beings and their sexuality as "entertainment," particularly since
the scales are so grossly unbalanced with regard to that most of the
time it's women who are doing the entertaining.

It's usually women who are the punchline for such jokes, too. And all
"cutsey sense of humor" aside, basically what it boils down to is that
women are STILL not respected by men even in this day and age, and not
by society in general, either.

Of course, if you think whooping and hollaring and sticking a $20 bill
in someone's g-string is being "respectful" then that pretty much ends
the discussion for you right there, doesn't it?

If you'll notice, though, nowhere in that discussion, nor in any other
discussion in which I state my opinion, do I say that I think those
people should be flogged, imprisoned or sent to burn in eternal
damnation forever, now, did I?

THAT would be JUDGING them.

And while we're at it, every single one of you who states you don't
judge people is a hypocrite and a liar...because every single one of us
makes judgments every single day of our lives ...with regard to people
and with regard to countless other situations.

And personally, I'd much rather see a person have the courage of their
convictions (no matter what they condoned or didn't condone) than to
hide behind a mask of "political correctness" just to make sure they
retain their status with the "popular crowd."

I can't speak for anyone else, but I am quite proud to be the kind of
person who doesn't "walk the wheel" and who has a mind of her own, and a
voice, and who will happily, without reserve nor shame, make judgments
as I see fit.

That is my right as a human being. That is your right, too.

Bon appetit.
